THE STATE.

THB Chicago Republican of Thursday contains the following in its report of the proceedings of the Circuit Court there:

An flctjon of debt, with attachment in aid, was commenced by the State of Indiana, at the relation of John D. Evans, Auditor of State, against Dillard Ricketts, of Indianapolis, impleaded with Henry J. Lyons and C. Burk Simmons, to recover an alleged indebtedness of $84,166 33 for moneys claimed to be belonging to the sinking and school fund of the State, de^posited with Ricketts, Lyons & Simmons, fcTvas bankers, on the 14th of January, 1865.

The suit is based upon the record of a ^judgment recovered by the State at the relation of its creditors, against the defendant impleaded as above, in the Cir--1'" -cuit Court of Clark county, Indiana, for iSGt,08{) and coSts, al the October term, 1867.

THE HON. GEORGE W. JULIAN publishes a card in the Cincinnati Chronicle in which he says:

In a recent number of the Qasette-I nolice the following from its telegraphic correspondent: "The papers in Julian's contested election were the first to go to i. the printer, hut by skillful1 manipulation they are not' now last in order.' This is done in order''to put off a decision in the case aA long as possible." If this is intetuled as a tling at me, perhaps I ought to notice it. Early in December last, when I reached Washington, I found

Mr. Reid here, but learned from members of the Committee on Elections that he had manifested no interest whatever in his case.— I promptly asjted the committee to sfend the evidence to the Government Printer, aijil it was'done on my own request exclusively. The intimation that by "skillful manipulation," or etherwise, I have said or done anything to delay action by the committee, is perfectly gratuitous and false. I have had no motive for this, because the sworn evidence I have taken as to ballot-stuffing at the south poll in Richmond, s^tUes-the caw in Mr. Eeid him&lf knows this, and in a published letter some months since, which appeared ip the newspapers af my district, he fraukly says that '^Mr. Julian may count with perfect reliability on the holding of the seat for the present term."

What motive the Ckuxtte and its corres' pondent can have for becoming the chain pion of my Copperhead competitor, and seeking as'they have repeatedly done, to place^ me in a false position, I am not ablo to divine.

THE time for holding the International Convention of the Young Men's Christian Associations was determined yesterday. The 22d, 23d, 24th and 25th of June is the time fixed upon, and on the 26th (Sunday) Jhe Convention will close with a "Farewell Meeting" in the Academy of Music. In a letter received from Cephas Brainard, Esq., Chairman of the Executive Committee, located in New York, he says: "I do not doubt but that the Convention will be very large and in all respects a grand one. It will be our aim t»make it thoroughly practical by the preparation of questions bearing directly upon the work we have in hand." —Ind. Sentinel. 19th.

FROM CUBA.

The Tribune to-day publishes'a letter from Havana, written by an American filibuster who was an «ye witness pf the battle that ended so disastrously for Gen. Puello and so vigorously for Gen. Jordan. According to the correspondent, the number of the Spaniards killed and wounded exceeded the number of the Cubans in this battle, apiece of information which the patriots acquired in part by having to disinter the Spaniards to get their clothing.

He writes the Spaniards buried their dead on the field and retreated seven miles to fortify themselves in a strong position, where they remained for two weeks without daring to leave their entrenchments even for food, which"' became very scarce. Their lods included 200 killed and buried on the field, and 125 who died and were buried in their refuge. Gen. Jordan fought the battle with 548 men, including negroes and Chinese, and some of them so ragged they had to strip the dead.

Deserters confirm this Spanish defeat and place their wounded at about 300, making their total loss exceed the number of oiir men engaged in the battle.—* Among their

vdead

were one Colonel and

32 officers. Our loss was two killed and twelve wounded. It is. Qen. Jordan's own testimony that none fought better in this battle than the negroes and the Chinese, ,v

MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR. '.w

The dead body of an unknown man was found this morning a short distance from the Fair Grounds, with two pistols near by both of which had been discharged.' Two pistol ball wounds, one in the hebd, the other in the breast, were found on the body,'and a portion of the clothing turned. The death is involved in mystery, but it is thought by some, the man was the murderer of Herman Tubbesing, .who was shot last night,- and that he committed suicide. The Coroner is now holding an inquest.

THE MURDER OF TUBBESING.

Nothing definite yet has been learned regarding the, murder of Tubbesing last night. He was a very peaceable man, and the supposition is, he was mistaken for some one else.

SOME EXPLANATION" OF THE MURDER OF TUBBESING. \':V.

Tlie 'lifead body found near tlie Fair Grounds this morning has been identified as that of William Stretger. The evidence before the Coroner's jury this afternoon showed that he and Herman Tubbesing, who was killed last night, belonged to the same Lodge of Harigari, and that Tubbesing was mainly instrumental in having Stretger expelled therefrom.— One of the pistols found near Stretger was a French weapon, carrying a peculiar shaped ball, and that the balls found in Tubbesing's body corresponded exactly with those in the pistol and those in Stretger's body. It is therefore believed that Stretger was the murderer of Tubbesing, and that he committed suicide*

SAN FRANCISCO, March 19.—Advices from China state the weaiher cold, and business dull. New Year's had been extensively celebrated, and business suspended. Formosa was in trouble on account of the Mandarins attempting to prevent shipment of camphor by English merchants. Rewards for certain foreigners' heads are said to have been offered at Shanghai.— The Emperor was receiving mirrors and household furniture from Paris. The Chinese steamer Confucius had been lost in the Yangtze river. The Frcnch steam er Thibor had arrived, v^a Suez Canal. At Pekin the Government was to issue a proclamation offering to sell rank, title and office. At Hong Kong the loss of the Oneida created a profound sensation, and cast a gloom over the community. Captain Faulkner, of the wrecked bark Elloy, died in the hospital, from exposure. Business was suspended everywhere on account of New Year.

FROM JAPANS ,"

At Yokohama the affair of the Oneida agitated the community an entire month. Captain Eyre was allowed passage on the Bombay, notwithstanding repeated re quests "afld demands upon the British authorities'for his arrest for criminal trial and punishment. The sentence of the court suspends Capt. Eyre six months.— Americans were indignant, not only at this, but at the1intolerably English insolence our Minister was subjected to during the investigation. Capt Roe, chief of staff of the U. S. steamer Delaware had reached Yokohama and wouldjimmediately hold a naval court of inquiry. The only bodies found are those of Capt. Williams and tha carpenter.

The Japanese authorities are pursuing what few native Christians escaped deportation. It is said they now demand foreign Ministers and Missionaries be prohibited fropi teaching natives or in any way promulgating their faith. Another Peninsula and Oriental steamer ran into and immediately sunk the North German Ship Carrie Jane. The crew were saved.

"CONDITION OF THE COURT HOI?TFB, CHICAGO, March 19.—The 'coiuitiittee appointed by the Chicago Bar to investigate and report as to tlie safety of the old Court House and wings, met this morningj Coh Evans, Chairman of the Committee, said they had prepared a report which he read,' prefacing it with some remarks relative to the present condition of the Court House. He had examined the building personally and carefully, and was satisfied the old building needed other supports than it' now had that in the present condition it was unsafe,'and persons inside ofc it were daily and hourly in danger of being crushed by the falling of some portion of the structue. Evans, then read the report of Mr. Randall, architect, which was in the shape of replies to questions. In reply to the ques-tion'-whether the floors were likely to givef"

a vote of thfe^people. The joint spe«£ab lirajr, replied, that he had not positively determined, the joists were sprung and there were several indications that the floors were not as substantial as they, should be. In -reply to the question whether the foundations of the new wings are'safe, Mr. Randall answered emphatically, "No." They were not sufficient to support, beyond the contingency of such art accident such a superstructure. He recommended the removal of an interior wall in the west wing, which rests upon' joists also the removal of what remains of the roof. It would be difficult,. li$ said, which combined more completely^ the elements of self-destruction than the present one. Judge Bradwetl said TIS 'Had examined the roof with four aicliitects, they came to the unanimous opinion that .the roof was liable to comedown at any moment. One architect said that a* Wow from a cold chisel could knock down a.column that would let down the whole east wing. After hearing more evidence to the same purport, the committee adjourned without taking any action.

These Alpacas are pronounced, by Harper's Bazaar, better than any others imported. The fabric is stronger, finer and smoothes .,, the color better in appearance and more enduring than in any other brand.

We are making a speciality of these goods and soiling them at as low priees as ORDINARY goods bring in this market.
